Play at Ultimate Quality With GeForce NOW, Courtesy of GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD

[T0@st]

GFN keeps its fourth anniversary celebrations rolling by bringing Ubisoft's Skull and Bones and Microsoft's Halo Infinite to the cloud this week. They're part of five newly supported games, and thanks to the power of the cloud, members can play them at unrivaled quality across nearly any device. The Ultimate Upgrade, Instantly. When GeForce NOW launched in 2020, members flocked to take advantage of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series GPU-powered servers and experience real-time ray tracing on low-powered devices. For the first time, high-performance PC gaming was available to all.

Later, members gained access to the Ultimate upgrade, as NVIDIA cloud gaming servers brought GeForce RTX 3080-class power to users across the globe. Now, with the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, cloud gaming has taken another leap forward, powered by the GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD.




That means nearly anyone can experience groundbreaking PC gaming technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, with its AI-powered Frame Generation and upscaling features. Members can explore their favorite game worlds rendered with cinematic lighting and reflections thanks to RTX ON, with full ray tracing supported in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2. Experience immersive gaming, even on old laptops or smartphones.

Enjoy the greatest PC games available at up to 4K resolution with an Ultimate membership, and explore a whole new world with support for 21:9 ultrawide resolutions.

Members also have the competitive edge in the cloud, thanks to support for NVIDIA Reflex technology. Ultimate members can take aim and make every shot count with ultra-low latency and support for up to 240 frames per second performance—a first for cloud gaming—all made possible by GeForce NOW. Upgrade today to feel the difference.

That makes total sense.

The 16GB lower-mid-range cards that they can't sell for a down-payment for a car gets shoved in to their cloud-gaming service servers. I don't blame people, I keep running out of VRAM from some games and browsing for the past ~18 months I've had my Radeon card.

24GB needs to become the new mid-range VRAM capacity. Someone please go over to AMD and tell them to do that please because fools are going to keep blowing $800 on 12GB entry level GPUs from Nvidia so Nvidia sure as hell isn't going to fix the VRAM issue.

I noticed that they've got some PR statement for advertising Genshin Impact... version 3.4? That ran 13 months ago... we're already about to wrap up 4.4 this week! They must have this written down for a year and a half at this point. I love this game don't get me wrong, but while its PC port runs well, it's relatively abysmal - Hoyo hasn't even released uncapped frame rate, I need to use some unlocker launcher to be able to play at 120 fps. It's a good thing Hoyo doesn't ban for it, because they'd not see me spending on it otherwise, but wow

up to 4K resolution with an Ultimate membership

Key words here....

Seems like all the streaming TV/movie platforms give you almost everything in 4K as the default, so why do the gamr services (which are essentially the same thing) believe you should have to pay for their top-tier membership just to get the same thing in your gamz ????

I know why, cause people are stupid enough to keep paying for it, just like all those folk who continue to pay the ever-growing & outrageous prices for the minuscule improvements in every new generation of CPU's & GPU's..

“Computers are too big and bulky and take too much space”

“Game consoles takes up too much space near my TV”

“My DVR takes up too much space for my $2000 wireless speaker for surround sound…”

This is the reason why companies like Nvidia are making these GaaS, or Streaming TV shows and movies. There are people with lots of money hate having bulky items in their ultra-futuristic homes and are ok with not owning anything because of “simplicity” and “cleaner” entertainment area.

Fuck that dumb noise I want to own my things and do whatever I want.

So Nvidia values a 4080 at 400 quid while they are charging us PC suckers 1000.00 and Wie don't get Geforce Now /s

I based on Nvidia wanting us PC suckers to upgrade every 2 years, Geforce Now costs 99.99 for 6 months you get the hardware and service included. Yes yes I know they ain't sitting with a data centre full of actual 4080's.
